An Extra Storey Makes All The Difference At Aspiration

Choosing the right new build house can be a mind boggling experience for many who are trying to balance what they need, what they want and what they can afford when buying a new home.

With almost 30 years’ experience in selling new build property, Persimmon Homes Yorkshire’s sales director, Kevin Thubron, explains why its new three-storey houses at Aspiration in Hornsea could potentially unlock another level of flexible living space.

He said: “Buying a home tops the list of the most important and expensive decisions that people make in life so getting it right is critical. To make the decision easier we have developed a range of three-storey properties that offer the space and flexibility that buyers are looking for at a price that they can afford.”

Kevin’s top reasons to move up to a three- storey house are:

· Families with teenagers. Anyone with teenage children will understand the dilemma – they need privacy in the safety of the family home. The top floor of a three-storey property is perfect for teenagers who crave space to call their own.

· Large families looking to spread out over three floors will appreciate the flexibility of a layout with an open kitchen and dining area, a separate living room and spacious bedrooms.

· With more and more professionals working from home, a three-storey layout is the perfect solution for setting up an office in the home. The top floor is ideal, away from the family as the bedroom could easily be converted into a quiet haven for work.

· Blended families will also appreciate the extra space offered by a three-storey house. Many families now consist of divorced parents who have children from previous marriages and regular visits from step-siblings at weekends. The additional bedrooms available can accommodate the needs of this type of extended family without the feeling that everyone is living on top of one another.

· Increasing numbers of friends and professionals are choosing to get onto the first step of the property ladder by purchasing a home together. The growing trend limits the risk and individual mortgage payment required per person each month. By opting for a three-storey house each person could potentially have a self-contained section or floor of the house giving them the privacy and space that they are looking for.

Many purchasers have taken the opportunity to use the Government-backed Help to Buy scheme to buy a larger new home that they previously thought was not possible which, in the long term, saves the cost of an early move when more space is required. Under the scheme, purchasers only require a five per cent deposit along with a 75 per cent mortgage. The Government provides a 20 per cent equity loan, which is interest and repayments free for the first five years. With Help to Buy the three-storey Bickleigh home can be purchased with a deposit of £6,750*.

The charming seaside town of Hornsea, with its Blue Flag beach, offers a charming location to set up home, whatever your age.

From a Victorian Folly, to a nature reserve and Mere to the well-maintained Trans Pennine Trail plus many independent shops and local amenities there is plenty of reasons to purchase in Hornsea.

Aspiration offers a wide range of two, three and four bedroom homes in a range of two and three-storey designs, ideal for growing families and those looking for more space. Prices start at £114,999* with the three-storey Bickleigh design home priced from just £134,999.
